How we handle bath repair in Bugbrooke
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Bugbrooke
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.

- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again

Repairing versus replacing in Bugbrooke
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Bugbrooke clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bugbrooke. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
